Matthew "Mero" Faitel is a professional Fortnite player from Canada, widely regarded as the greatest controller player in the game’s history. With six FNCS titles and a win at the 2023 FNCS Global Championship, Mero has built a résumé that few can match.

His rise began in 2020, winning Chapter 2 Season 4 alongside Deyy and Reverse2k, a trio that would reunite for another title in C2S6. In 2021, Mero joined forces with Bugha and Muz to win C2S8 and cap off the year with a Grand Royale victory. The synergy with Bugha continued into 2022, winning in C3S1, 2nd in C3S3, and 3rd in C3S2, showcasing Mero’s unmatched consistency across seasons.
